I think you can still pre-order and they will still give you the cans when they arrive. I am waiting to see the impressions from the other buyers whether they are the real deal.

Finally, I have settled on the AKG K550 as it has a neutral sound, some mid emphasis (useful, once again, for voice tracking and other video work), do not have very rolled-off bass and are more refined than the DT250 or the ATH-M50. I did not really experience the glare that people are complaining about although they can sometimes get fatiguing. I am pretty happy so far but naturally, if something better comes along, I'll be more than happy to check it out

You may want to look into the K267 Tiesto. Supposedly a much better sounding headphone than the K550, without the ringing and treble issues. The bass response is adjustable, and the adjustment apparently is much more effective than the Beyer Custom One according to Tyll.

I just bought a $28 250-250 also. I've been wanting to try them for awhile, and at that price you kinda have to.

I saw people posting about that deal, but when I tried the link I got a normal price (and this was within minutes of seeing it posted in the deals thread). Maybe the site can tell I'm Canadian and won't give me the goods 

In order for me to see the price, I have to click on the 250/250 headphone and then click on the "New From: $27". The page itself lists the price at $184. Then again, I'm in the US.

Well, it seems they've always been $22 at Amazon, so yeah... false alert
